This article examines the role of physical education in forming a healthy lifestyle among primary school students. In primary education, physical education is not limited to the development of motor skills; it also serves as an important pedagogical factor in strengthening pupils’ health, improving discipline, shaping hygienic habits, developing social cooperation, and encouraging conscious attitudes toward daily physical activity. The article emphasizes that the formation of a healthy lifestyle begins from the early school years, when children acquire stable behavioral patterns related to movement, nutrition, rest, personal hygiene, emotional balance, and active participation in learning and social life. Physical education lessons create favorable conditions for developing endurance, agility, coordination, flexibility, and strength, while also teaching children to follow rules, respect classmates, act safely, and understand the value of health. Special attention is given to the pedagogical significance of age-appropriate exercises, active games, outdoor activities, health-saving technologies, and teacher-guided motivational methods. The article argues that systematic and well-organized physical education in primary school contributes to the harmonious development of the child and becomes a foundation for lifelong health-oriented behavior.
